Commencement of Human Ethics Module

An InfoEd Consultant was on-site in Guelph from October 26, 2015 to October 30, 2015 to provide the Project Team with an overview of the Human Ethics Module as it pertains to UoG’s business needs. This has provided us with a fundamental understanding of the system to plan and prepare for it and equipped InfoEd with required information to commence configuration of the Human Ethics Module.

Focus Group for Administrators

A Focus Group was held for administrators across all colleges on October 21, 2015 to provide them with an overview of RAIMS and to establish a mechanism for on-going engagement.  The opportunity was used to acquire an appreciation of current systems and processes from the perspective of administrators and to identify their desired changes in the new system.   Their feedback has been used for the purpose of implementation planning.
